When the call came in initially, it was reported that the unattached garage was fully engulfed. However, that was not the case. The fire was minor and started from a heat lamp that was inside a dog kennel located next to the garage.

I've worked at the Brainerd Dispatch with various duties since Dec. 7, 1983. Starting off as an Ad Designer and currently Director of Audience Development. The Dispatch has been an interesting and challenging place to work. I'm fortunate to have made many friends, both co-workers and customers.
